Two First Baptist Churches, one in Harrisburg and one in Eldorado, served up turkey and all the trimmings to the general public at no charge on Thursday, Thanksgiving Day. Both churches delivered meals to shut-ins.

Pastor of the Harrisburg church, the Rev. Chris Winkleman, said "This is one of our favorite days. It gives us a chance to live the gospel."

Bob Evaul, a totally satisfied Harrisburg guest, said, "The food is great, really good and they give you a lot of it.

“I know a lot of people who have sacrificed their time putting this meal together on a family holiday. When people sacrifice their personal time it shows the heart of Jesus. That is what makes it special. Another thing is the diversity of ages. There are older people working with younger people and that is great."
